Celebrity Big Brother 4 was the fourth series of Celebrity Big Brother UK. The series started on 5 January, 2006 and finished on 27 January, 2006, running for three weeks. The series aired on Channel 4. This is the first series of Big Brother UK to be produced by Brighter Pictures, a subsidiary of Endemol UK, instead of by the parent company.

Twist

The first housemate to enter the House (and the eventual winner) was Chantelle, a girl from Essex and the first non-celebrity in a celebrity series. Her first task was to convince her celebrity housemates that she was actually a genuine celebrity herself – failure would have meant that she would have been evicted on Day 4. She was told to play the character of a pop star from the fictitious girl band "Kandy Floss", and that her biggest 'hit' was "I Want It Right Now". She succeeded in convincing the other housemates, and was allowed to stay.

Notoriety

This particular series was noted sometimes for its comedy, but more often for the extreme conflict that frequently broke out between the housemates versus Pete Burns' wearing of fur. Big Brother occasionally played on the conflict, or widening the already-present rift between them by encouraging each side to deceive one another in various events.

By the time of the series Finale, six housemates remained in the House. This was a first in Big Brother UK history and the next (non-celebrity) series, Big Brother 7, also adopted this format.

House

As with all Big Brother series since Big Brother 3, the House was located in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, just north of London.

Notes

Note 1: Rula Lenska, as wearer of the Pants of Power after winning the 'box task', had to choose one housemate to automatically face the public vote. She chose Pete Burns.

Note 2: George Galloway and Preston, after breaking the "no discussing nominations" rule were called to the Diary Room to nominate three of their fellow housemates together. They were unaware at the time that what they were saying was being fed live into the house on the Plasma screen. They chose Maggot, Rula and Traci Bingham.

Note 3: Before nominations took place, Big Brother held a ballot to decided whether George should be permitted to nominate, as he once again had discussed nominations with a fellow housemate, breaking a fundamental Big Brother rule for the third time. Whilst nominations took place, George Galloway was not called to the diary room, showing he lost the vote. The eviction on Day 21 was a double eviction.
